how much swap does CDE consume?

2007-12-25 11:28:00

I asked about the amount of swap space a typical CDE execution normal consumes.

The answers, very limited in number, were:

1. Upgrade to CDE 1.0.2 and the latest patches -- can't do it, though I will in

concert with upgrading to Solaris 2.6 in the future.

2. roughly 50M. -- this does not account for the swap space problems on my

developer systems, so apparently I have something else going wrong and need to

further investigate the problem.

attached mail follows:

I recently started running out of swap space on a regular basis on my

workstation. This after running it for at least a year in its current

configuration with no problems. I've examined things and it appears that the

vast majority of my swap is being consumed by CDE (> 150M of the somewhat more

than 200M configured). Everything else uses quite a small amount of swap, but

every now and then the non-CDE processes exceed the 50-60M available due to

CDE's appetite.

How much swap space do you typically see CDE consuming on developer

workstations?

The machines in question are primarily SPARCstation 20/10 workstations running

Solaris 2.5 and CDE 1.0.1.

TIA,
